SECTION MANAGER – LICENSING AND ACCREDITATION

 

The Abu Dhabi Education Council (ADEC) was established in November 2005. In April 2008, the UAE President decreed that ADEC would set the standards under which public and private P-12, Vocational and Higher Education would operate in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, capital of the country. On July 1, 2008 the federal Ministry of Education turned over responsibility for P-12 operations to ADEC.

ADEC’s charge is to bring education at all levels to international standards of excellence, and produce graduates at all levels which are competitive in the global education and employment markets. ADEC offers a ground floor opportunity for top quality, progressive education professionals and leaders to create new approaches to teaching and learning.

ADEC operates over 300 government P-12 schools serving 125,000 students and employing approximately 13,500 teachers, and is currently rolling out standards against which its 150 private P-12 schools will be monitored. Also in place are standards and application packages for private P-12 schools, colleges and universities seeking to operate in Abu Dhabi. ADEC’s central office (exclusive of school staff) has an approved organization structure of 436 positions plus advisors. Since 1 July 2008, ADEC has run a recruiting programme for over 300 positions.
